Miter Cutting

MITER CUTTING is known as cutting wood at an angle other than 90° with the edge of the wood. Follow the same procedure as you would for crosscutting (Fig. 59).

Adjust the miter gauge to the desired angle, and lock it.

The miter gauge may be used in either of the grooves in the table.

When using the miter gauge in the LEFT hand groove, hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge head with your left hand, and grip the lock knob with your right hand.

When using the RIGHT hand groove, hold the workpiece with your right hand and the lock knob with your left hand.

Bevel Crosscutting

BEVEL CROSSCUTTING is the same as crosscutting except that the wood is also cut at a bevel angle (Fig. 60) … other than 90° with the flat side of the wood.

Adjust the blade to the desired angle.

Use the Miter Gauge in the groove to the RIGHT or the LEFT of the blade.

Compound Miter Cutting

COMPOUND MITER CUTTING is a combination of miter cutting and bevel crosscutting. The cut is made at an angle other than 90° to both the edge and the flat side of the wood (Fig. 60).

Adjust the miter gauge and the blade to the desired angle and make sure miter gauge is locked.

Using the Rip Fence

RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWING AND RABBETING are performed using the RIP FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE / WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH BLOCK.

WARNING

For your own safety, always observe the following

safety precautions in addition to the safety

 

 

instructions on Pages 2, 3, 4 & 5.

1.Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because the blade could bind in the cut and cause a KICKBACK.

2.Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.

3.Remove miter gauge from table during any operations which utilize the rip fence.

4.Make sure blade guard is installed for all thru-sawing type cuts. Replace the guard IMMEDIATELY following completion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing or molding operations.

Frequently check the action of the ANTIKICKBACK PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the spreader while saw is OFF.

Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS do not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it … the pawls must be REPLACED or SHARPENED. (See “Maintenance” on Page 84).

5.Have blade extend approximately 1/8" above top of workpiece. Additional blade exposure would increase the hazard potential.

6.Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case of a KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the blade.
